Google Enterprise Solutions Looks Like Cloud Storage

While companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for unified communications solutions from Microsoft and IBM, Google is planning a number of upgrades and new releases to its enterprise products. According to a report on eWeek, Google Wave could easily leverage the word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs in Google Docs, which is looking more and more like a cloud storage solution.


"Girouard said Google will release Google Wave, the company's real-time collaboration platform, for all consumers and businesses in 2010. Google, which currently offers the open-source Wave platform by invitation only, has rolled the platform out to more than 1 million users.

"Wave lets users communicate in via instant messaging, and enables multiuser document editing and social networking all in real time on one user interface. As such, it is a sort of lively incarnation of many of the Google Apps programs.

"Girouard said parts of Wave will show up in other Google products, but it is unclear how this will take shape. For example, Wave and Gmail may be integrated. Wave could easily leverage the word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs in Google Docs, which is looking more and more like a cloud storage solution."
